Russia urges Balkan countries "to quickly decide"
"Gazprom has taken up a firm position that once the agreement on gas transportation through the territory of Ukraine expires in four years, gas will no longer be transported to Europe that way," Chepurin noted at the scientific conference entitled "Russian energy projects in the Balkans after South Stream".The new route, along with Nord Stream, will stretch through the territory of Turkey, and its final destination will be on the Greek-Turkish border, the ambassador underlined in his opening address.
According to a preliminary agreement, four pipelines will be built, the first planned to be finished in 2016.
"Gas will be transported through the southern leg via Turkey to the border with Greece, and then we will negotiate with the European Union," he explained.
Now countries, including those in the Balkans, should decide on the manner in which they will ensure further supply, Chepurin said, adding that the decision on how to deliver gas to the final consumer should be made within a period of six months to one year.
He pointed out that it is important to determine three things - reliable delivery, necessary quantities for the region and reasonable prices.
Chepurin warned that today's situation in the geopolitical sense is by no means easy and that after the suspension of the South Stream gas pipeline project, whose construction was not possible, everyone should determine their own interests, and break through the bureaucratic and political wall.
"Once we overcome these walls, we will endeavor to defend our national interests, and also the common economic interests and the interests of wider Europe," the ambassador said.
